Dosan Seowon in Andong, Gyeongbuk, built in 1574 to honor Yi Hwang
It was designed simply and frugally, and it is said that the Dosan Seodang in the Seowon was designed by Yi Hwang himself.
In the past, scholars designed buildings, but the reason scholars could build beautiful buildings even though they were not architects seems to be
because they valued nature, harmony, philosophical thinking, and cultural traditions, and such values naturally appeared in the layout and design of the buildings.
